Pneumatosis intestinalis (intra-mural air) detected on point-of-care ultrasonography (but not apparent on plain abdominal radiographs) alerted the emergency physicians towards the severity of disease process. © 2017, The Author(s). | Source Title: | Critical Ultrasound Journal | URI: | https://scholarbank.nus.edu.sg/handle/10635/178619 | ISSN: | 2036-3176 | DOI: | 10.1186/s13089-017-0057-0 | Rights: | Attribution 4.0 International |
